About Us
Who we are and what this site is for
This website is an independent informational review platform created for players in New Zealand. We provide factual guides, game breakdowns, and objective assessments of online casinos, including platforms like Skycity Casino. It is important to be clear: we are an independent review site, not a casino operator. We do not accept bets, register player accounts, hold player funds, or provide direct gambling services. Our purpose is to gather and present clear, verifiable information so readers can make informed choices.
How we test
Our review process relies on structured, repeatable evaluation criteria. When we assess an online casino, we examine specific operational areas:
- Licensing and Regulation: We check the official licensing status and regulatory jurisdiction of the operator.
- Banking Methods: We test available deposit and withdrawal methods, checking for transaction speeds, fees, and currency availability for New Zealand dollars (NZD).
- Game Variety: We review the catalogue of pokies, table games, and live dealer options, noting the software providers involved.
- Customer Support: We test response times and the helpfulness of support channels such as live chat and email.
- Terms and Conditions: We read the fine print on bonus offers, wagering requirements, and withdrawal limits to identify any restrictive clauses.
The team and its experience
Our editorial team has been covering the online casino industry since 2011, giving us about 15 years of continuous experience in tracking market changes, regulatory updates, and software developments. The editor in charge of this site is Oliver Bennett. Our work is grounded in direct observation, technical testing, and industry analysis. We do not rely on promotional material supplied by operators; instead, we test the platforms ourselves to see how they perform in practice.
Responsible gambling and 18+
Gambling involves financial risk and should be approached as a form of entertainment rather than a way to make money. Access to this site and to the online casinos we review is strictly restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older, or the legal gambling age in New Zealand. We encourage all readers to maintain control over their gaming habits by utilizing practical tools provided by operators, such as deposit limits, session timers, and self-exclusion programs. If gambling stops being fun or causes financial strain, free and confidential support services are available through organizations like Gambling Helpline New Zealand.
How to contact the editorial team
We welcome questions, factual corrections, and feedback regarding our reviews and guides. If you need to reach the editorial team for any reason, you can send an email directly to support@skycityrewardsnz.com. We review incoming correspondence regularly and update our content when new information comes to light.
Affiliate disclosure
To keep this informational site running and our content free to access, we participate in affiliate marketing programs. This means that when readers click on certain outbound links to online casinos from our pages and subsequently register or deposit, we may receive a commission from the operator at no additional cost to the user. This commercial relationship does not influence our editorial assessments, ratings, or review criteria. Our testing methods remain consistent regardless of whether an operator has an affiliate partnership with us or not.
